Current Methods of Committing Fraud
( Pp. 76-81)

Abstract: The purpose of this article is to consider methods of committing fraud, which are of particular interest, since their diversity opens up wide "prospects" for study, including by prosecutors investigating cases of this category. The scale of the activity of criminals is revealed precisely through the method of committing, since its effectiveness allows you to get the maximum profit, and the legal, at first glance, nature of this activity allows its long-term existence. The author presents different classifications proposed by legal scholars from different time periods, as there are different tendencies in the methods of fraud. Today, there is an increase in fraud in the field of computer and Internet technologies, hacking of accounts and personal offices of online banks. And some 20 years ago, the fraudsters did not shy away from selling counterfeit antiques, jewelry, etc. At the same time, “forgotten” types of fraud are periodically “remembered” even today, and ordinary people easily succumb to these schemes.
Conclusions: A wide range of methods of committing fraud allows criminals to "operate" both in the clothing market and in the financial one. The ambitions of individuals are so great that fraud is committed on an especially large scale, and already thousands of people are beginning to become victims, an example of which are the victims of financial pyramid schemes, deceived shareholders, etc.
Often the victims are even famous people, artists who fall for the purchase of counterfeit jewelry or brand things. Fraudsters do not even shy away from the fact that they are ready to deprive people of their last home or various certificates for this purpose, such as housing or maternity. Unfortunately, the rather low standard of living of citizens of our country often pushes them to receive easy money offered by fraudsters, so people are “engaged” to win-win lotteries, promotions, free service, gifts and other, where the result is the issuance of multi-million-dollar loans and the loss of property. Fraud in the field of digital and computer technologies requires special attention: carding, phishing, blocking devices through malicious mailings, hacking accounts and banking applications are only a small fraction of the methods of fraud.
